Chapter 54: Xia Shiyu’s Favorability MAX
Just a few days into April, Xia Junmings surgery began. The surgery was scheduled during the day, but by the time Su Lin and others finished school, it was still not over. Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan were accompanying Xia Shiyu at the hospital.
Xiaoyu, dont be nervous. Uncle Xia has his own lucky stars; everything will be fine.
Xia Shiyu hugged Lin Xiaowan tightly: Xiaowan, Im still worried, even though being nervous now is useless.
Dont worry, Ive inquired about this doctor. Hes very skilled and has performed many kidney transplants. Everything will be fine, Lin Xiaowan reassured Xia Shiyu, patting her back.
Um~!!
Su Lin looked at Xia Shiyu and Lin Xiaowan embracing each other, his eyes filled with envy. If only he could join them Such a sight would be pleasing to the eyes.
Su Lin noticed that Lin Xiaowans demeanor was slowly changing. After spending more time with him, she gradually interacted less with others. Especially those who slandered Su Lin, Lin Xiaowan showed them no courtesy.
This created a cold and distant persona, though she wasnt really like that. But as she defended Su Lin, her demeanor gradually improved, blending the coldness of a goddess with the grandeur of a noble lady, becoming irresistibly charming.
Looking at the two girls getting along so well, Su Lin wished he could join them. He coughed, thinking how distant that dream seemed. But he felt it wasnt impossible.
Appraisal Technique!!
[Xia Shiyu: 18 years old, 162cm, 44kg, Current Favorability (99+ Stagnant)] [Lin Xiaowan: 17 years old, 168cm, 48kg, Current Favorability (81+ Stagnant)]
Su Lin was surprised by Xia Shiyus information. 18 years old? Could it be her birthday today?
System, is it Xiaoyus birthday today?
[Yes, Host!]. The system confirmed.
It must be Xia Shiyus 18th birthday today. For a girl, the 18th birthday couldnt be overlooked. Su Lin planned something in his mind.
Seeing her favorability at 99, he was somewhat surprised but also felt it made sense. Xia Shiyu was probably the easiest to pursue, especially at this juncture.
As for Xiaowan, her favorability stopped at 81, indicating that regular approaches were no longer effective. Su Lin thought of trying something unconventional.
But there was no rush; a favorability of 81 was enough for him to be intimate with Lin Xiaowan, as long as she didnt find out about him and Xia Shiyu.
Taking advantage of the girls good mood, Su Lin texted Chen Yang to order a cake and deliver it. Chen Yang readily agreed. He was now completely reliant on Su Lin and would do anything for him, even something shady.
After sorting out the cake, Su Lin approached the girls: Xiaoyu, dont worry too much. We can only trust the doctors now.
Xia Shiyus face was pale: But its been six hours since noon.
Six hours is indeed not long for a kidney transplant, Su Lin reminded.
I know~!!
Seeing this, Su Lin didnt comfort her further. He felt a bit uncomfortable about bringing Lin Xiaowan. If she werent there, he could have comforted Xia Shiyu better. But with Lin Xiaowan present, any intimate comforting would make her upset.
Weve been waiting outside for a long time. Its getting late; I should take Xiaowan home, Su Lin said.
Is your driver still downstairs?
I sent Liu Shi back and told him to just leave the car down there, Su Lin replied.
Lin Xiaowan felt touched, understanding Su Lins intention. She looked at Xia Shiyu: Xiaoyu, Ill head back first. Ill wait for your good news at home.
Su Lin waved his hand, What do you mean won over? They were attracted to me, got it? Never mind, you wont understand until you fall in love.
Chen Yang shook his head seriously, Falling in love is impossible for me right now; I just want to make money, to let my family never worry about money again.
Thats the spirit, but make sure you work hard. Ive got to go now; Xiaoyu is waiting for me.
Sure, Bro Lin, Ill head back too. Call me if you need anything.
Will do!
Su Lin put the cake in the back seat and then drove back to the hospital. By then, Xia Junmings surgery was over. As soon as Su Lin arrived on the floor, he saw Xia Shiyu preparing to eat a boxed meal.
Wheres Uncle Xia?
Hes been moved to the ward.
Alright, you go to the nurses station and arrange for a nurse to start taking care of him from today. Then come with me.
What? Su Lin, we dont need a nurse; I can take care of my dad myself, Xia Shiyu said, sounding distressed.
Hospital care is indeed expensive, the cost for a days care is equivalent to a weeks wages for an ordinary worker.
Su Lin said calmly, Money isnt a problem if it can solve the problem. Just arrange it, I gave you the money to take care of Uncle Xia, not to sit in your bank account and accumulate.
Okay! Although reprimanded by Su Lin, Xia Shiyu felt sweet inside. After she arranged for the nurse, she returned to find that Su Lin had thrown away her boxed meal.
Su Lin, wheres my meal?
Su Lin looked disgusted, That meal was just unhealthy fast food; I threw it away.
But I hadnt eaten it yet; why did you throw it away? Thats wasteful.
Su Lin, not waiting for an answer, pulled Xia Shiyu downstairs, Whats so good about fast food? Lets go, Ill treat you to a real meal.
Err wait I
No need to wait. The nurse will take care of everything; lets go.
Xia Shiyu followed Su Lin to the parking lot.
Get in the car!
Without a word, Xia Shiyu opened the car door and got in. Once seated, she noticed the cake in the back seat.
Su Lin, is it your birthday today?
Su Lin sighed deeply, then turned to pinch Xia Shiyus cheek, You little dummy, its your birthday today. How could you forget your own birthday?
My my birthday? Xia Shiyu pointed at herself and froze. Her eyes reddened in seconds, and tears began to flow.
Unable to control her emotions any longer, Xia Shiyu hugged Su Lin tightly, Su Lin wuwu!!!
